The main event, the XTERRA Winter World Championship, is a uniquely XTERRA multisport race combining the four disciplines of ski mountaineering, mountain biking, running and snowshoeing. The race is open to both professional and amateur competitors.
“The XTERRA Winter Championship is another example of how we are using sports to help build the state’s image and economy,” said Jeff Robbins, president & CEO of the Utah Sports Commission – which helped to bring the event to Utah.
Event organizer TEAM Unlimited will produce a half-hour TV show highlighting the XTERRA Winter World Championship festival for distribution to ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, major cable stations and resort networks throughout the country via national syndication.
"The XTERRA Winter World Championship and accompanying sports festival is destined to become a major winter attraction for Northern Utah,” said Tom Kiely, CEO of TEAM Unlimited. “The events are designed to be unique, fun and challenging. The locations at Snowbasin and Ogden are perfect not only because of their beauty, Olympic legacy, and great facilities, but also because the communities are so great to work with."
The XTERRA Winter World Championship is presented by the Utah Sports Commission, Greater Ogden Athletic Legacy Foundation, Snowbasin, Paul Mitchell, and XTERRA Gear.
